June Adoption Update

China matched dates Sept. 12-15, 2006.  It seems so unreal that we are only 4 more log-in-dates away.  I really have good intentions to post in between adoption updates, but for some reason I just can't bring myself to do it.  Now that we are THIS close I'm beginning to feel very protective of this journey.  There are so many people that I want to tell about her before we make it public to the FB and blog world, we're just pulling things in a little closer for the next month or so!  We are in the process of updating our paperwork for the 4th time....this time with brand-new things and classes that we've not had to do before.  It's all very emotionally taxing at this point.  I had natural childbirth with both of my girls and the last little bit of labor before the pushing is the most difficult.  It's when you want to give up and say, "I just can't do this anymore...it's way too hard", but that's when you know that it's almost over and the baby will soon be in your arms.  That's how I feel right now.  Just counting down the days!
